You may not know when disasters will strike but you can be prepared by planning ahead for the unexpected. Here are a few ways you can protect your company against unforeseen events that can disrupt your business.
Identify Your Risks
Assess your business, its location, resources, etc., and determine the greatest threats to its growth and expansion. Is your building and inventory in jeopardy of floods or fire? Do your employees know what to do if a disaster strikes? What consequences would you face if you were forced to shut down due to storm damage? Once you identify your risks, make a plan for addressing them so you can be prepared for any eventuality.
Protect Business Functions
Make a list of your major operations and determine how you would keep these running after a disaster. Make a plan for protecting your computers and important business data to include employee, vendor and customer contact information. Back up essential data periodically and keep files in a safe, secure location.
Form a plan for communicating with employees, suppliers, and customers after a disaster to keep them informed of what’s happening with your business. You could post updates on your website or use other forms of social media to let the public know when you will be operational again. If possible, contact key customers personally so you don’t lose them during recovery.
